Thanks, that's extremely useful. In that case I will stay with NFS and check the ability to generate playlists, as you suggested. You may have saved me a lot of time trying the other option, and a lot of frustration if I found out later that playlist creation doesn't work. Maybe some day I'll dive deeper into my NAS. I bought it two years ago, primarily for LMS, and then never used it for anything else, tbh. Now it's a pretty luxurious solution, for just serving audiofiles to the LMS on the picoreplayer. jablonski's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=23317 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114948 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

Once setup properly you are less likely to run into permissions issues with NFS. The squash root bit means that everything will get written with root.root on the NAS which equates to anyone in the admin group of the NAS if connecting from a Windows PC to the NAS via Samba.

Thanks so much for your explanations, Farina! Actually this week in the evening I managed to point the music library on LMS (picoreplayer) to the right location on the NAS (Synology), using NFS. But it was a lot of work, and messing around (it's quite hard if you don't know exactly what you're doing or why). But it was doable eventually, with the documentation on picoreplayer.org and some additional info from old forum threads. Anyways, I'm not sure if this is the case but it sounds like CIFS might be a pretty solid alternative. So I might read up on that a little and give it a shot if it turns out to be a better option. About your suggestion of using Raspberry Pis for your Hifi multiroom system, yes I am aware of what you can do with them. But I did not realize that it was relatively easy to do, until I read some more about it online (which I did after being pointed to the Raspberry solution for LMS by Michael Herger at the start of this thread). So I'm now considering to resell one or both second hand Squeezeboxes Classics that I recently purchased as backups. It is not so important to keep them, knowing now that the Raspberry HiFi alternative is doable and kindof fun. It's also more durable to return my backup SBs to the pool of second SBs so that a fan can still put them to good use. So thanks a lot for your support and suggestions.

In my case (using 4 Raspberry Pi3B's) it forms the basis of a house wide multi-room solution which is considerably cheaper than Sonos et al. These Pi's all run on varied combinations of hardwired Ethernet and Wi-Fi network connections and allow me to play synchronised music across my home using the full functionality of the Logitech Media Server ecosystem. They have been very reliable and running for 4 years plus. Whilst I do have some old Logitech devices to control the individual PiCorePlayers running on each Pi (e.g. Touch, Duet handsets), I predominately use an iOS application (available for iPad and iPhone) called "iPeng" which is fabulous value. Its not free (as I recall about UK £8, with an additional small payment of say circa £4 if you want to unlock iPeng to use it as an inbuilt media player (interfacing with LMS) on your iOS device - basically it will appear as a separate player, just as the PiCorePlayers do, so in combination with bluetooth headphones you have another player connected to LMS (and synchronised with the others), Apple store link here https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/ipeng-9-squeezebox-remote/id767266886 iPeng support forum is here (I believe user "pippin" is its developer) its been around since at least 2008, so a very mature product. https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?51929-iPeng-support-thread/page824 So what is require for my solution ? Basically all that is required beyond the PiCorePlayer software and the Raspberry Pi, is an additional Pi HAT (a HAT is an additional board that plugs into the exposed PINs on top of the Raspberry Pi) a more powerful power supply and obviously some loudspeakers to output the music through. I should explain that the additional Pi HAT I refer to actually has a built in DAC (digital to analogue converter) which is far superior that on the Pi and also incorporates an amplifier (class D?). Given its speaker output wattage power is rated at 35w, it requires a much "beefier" power supply than those normally used but this just plugs into the Pi (replacing the existing "weedier" standard Pi power supply). There appear to be a number of audio HAT suppliers in the market. I have successfully used IQaudio (who used to sell directly to the public, but now seem to retail via The Pi Hut) Product guide is here https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0176/3274/files/20201209_IQaudIO_v32.pdf?v=1608196535 For retail sales see here (currently out of stock) https://thepihut.com/collections/raspberry-pi-audio-hats/products/iqaudio-digiamp https://thepihut.com/products/pi-digiamp-plus-power-brick-15v-3-33a-50w Another manufacturer (which I have no experience of) is Hi Berry. They seem to prefer to offer a complete retail solution, but you may be able to obtain just the necessary bare hardware from them, to build your own device. https://www.hifiberry.com/blog/what-is-a-raspberry-pi-hat/# If you have an existing Hi-fi setup (and don't require multi room - unless you have Hi-Fi already in each room!) you could alternatively investigate just mounting a DAC only HAT to your Pi e.g. https://thepihut.com/collections/raspberry-pi-audio-hats/products/iqaudio-dac-pro and taking the analogue outputs into a spare input source on your Hi-fi amplifier I have only had good experiences with IQaudio (UK based) and the HAT's I have used (mine have been replaced with updated designs) have always been PiCorePlayer supported. To check what HAT drivers are available for hardware go to the PiCorePlayer Web GUI under "Squeezelite Settings" tab and check drop down list under "Audio output device settings" you can see range of HAT's is supported. Even if your projected device is not listed, the wonderful thing about LMS (with its various plug-ins) and PiCorePlayers is the support available (especially given its open source) is really excellent and problems are seen as a challenge and overcome in a matter of days or even hours. Contrast this with commercial products where they go "end of life" or the manufacturer takes months to respond/resolve issues. Finally (at the risk of overloading the reader) there is also available a separate free open source software application called SqueezePlay which basically is a software emulation of a Logitech Touch device. This is available for multiple operating systems e.g. Mac,

I'm going to give it another shot next weekend. > Maybe I did something basic wrong due to overstretching my span of > attention. I see you are reporting some issues with mounting files shares. Note that I am no Linux geek, this is just what I have found, given some experimentation, works for me. (A) First on my Synology NAS, I created a file share called MEDIA. I am using CIFS so no NFS permissions were required, but obviously any account used (see 6 below) will need access to this share. My actual music files are stored in a directory (or if you prefer folder!) called "Music" within this share. Next logon to your PiCorePlayer's web interface and go to the LMS tab. Look for "Install and Enable additional File Systems" and go ahead and install. I did NOT need exFAT - the lower of the two buttons. You should find that once this is installed the fields within the "Setup Network Disk Mount" section (lower down) become editable. Here's what I did for them (1) Tick "enable" box (2) Mount point I called mine "media1" (3) IP Address - insert IP address of your Synology NAS e.g. 192.168.123.123 (nothing else ie no "/" etc) (4) Share Name "MEDIA" (same as file share name on your NAS - see A above. Note may be case sensitive) (5) Share type "CIFS" (6) User name - see A above (7) Password - self explanatory (note post mounting, this field will be blank) (8) Options I left as listed - "uid=1001,gid=50" (9) Click the "Set NET Mount" button You should now be good to go (obviously you will need to remap/rescan your media folders location see option "Configure LMS" button on LMS tab of PiCorePayer GUI One related point to be aware of - further up the LMS page tab there is an option to choose "Save LMS Server Cache and Preferences to Mounted Drive" I found that specifying the "Network Disk" option (by default if you have a Mounted Drive setup, which is hopefully what you achieved above) it will show (using my example above) "/mnt/media1/slimserver" When using this Network Disk option I found LMS occasionally reporting errors of being unable to write to file etc. Consequently I reverted to using the "pCP Boot Disk" location option which I think is the default option. I vaguely recall on this forum (Michael Herger?) recommending using the SD location ie pCP Boot Disk. Finally (as a belt and braces approach) whilst I have experienced no problems with my SD card which has been running for years, if you want to take a full backup image copy of your configured SD card - its always nice to have, this can be done via the "Main Page" tab of PiCorePlayer GUI Look for "SD Card Image" button and select (new screen opens) For "Image location", using same details as point (2) above I selected (from drop down option) /mnt/media1/images Save Location Then (same screen) go down to "SD Card backup" and select "Create" button. This should then initiate a full image backup of your SD card to your Synology NAS into your file share (see (4) above into a newly created folder called "images" (if it doesn't you may need to manually create the "image" folder on your NAS. This image will be date stamped so you can create multiple images. NB I think you will need to stop LMS server prior to initiating backup (done from within the LMS tab and "Stop LMS" button) Hope above is helpful and does not caused confusion.

And I just happened to have a Raspberry 3B lying around as it was, so gave it a shot and it was a breeze. As I didn't have a large USB drive lying around, for the moment I am just accessing the music files on my NAS via the LMS on my Raspberry, which it finds under My Music, Remote Music Library - no additional configuration was required for this, maybe because LMS is still on the NAS as well (just telling for noobs like myself who might find this later on). I used this YouTube video for basic instructions on the installation of LMS/Picoreplayer on the Raspberry: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_q8ZQSYwR8 (again, for any noobs, and I'm sure there are countless alternatives, but I found this one quite good). I'm only using the Raspberry as a server now, with the player function turned off, but I can use it as a player any time I want, because I can simply access it with the Controller from the Duet.

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Beginner's question - how to install recent LMS on Synology DS118?
Hi All, I have a couple of Squeezeboxes (Classic and Duet) and a NAS (a Synology DS118). Until recently I only used them for listening to the radio and my own files, and was sort of fine using an outdated version of LMS. But I want to start using Tidal, for which I need a more recent version of LMS. Now, and this is probably a silly question for most of you, but can anyone tell me where I can find one of the more recent versions (8.#), suitable for the Synology DS118? And can I simply install it by selecting a *.spk file via the web-interface of my NAS? (the same way I recently did to re-install LogitechMediaServer-armv8-7.7.6-116.psk, which I found somewhere, after the Perl update broke LMS). Sorry if this was already explained before, but I couldn't find anything on this forum or elsewhere (I assume it might be below the skill level of the average member on this forum).
